I would agree with Connie Lomeli's speed estimate of the Mercedes (85-90 MPH). When making a left turn like that we assume that the oncoming vehicle in the distance is going the speed limit, not double the speed limit. RIP brother.

You can see how close the oncoming car is. It was more than obvious that the man didn’t have time to complete the turn. That being said, if someone can’t judge how quickly a car is approaching or see how close it is, they shouldn’t be driving. Yes, the other car was speeding, but the old man should have known he wouldn’t make it. The minute the video started, I could see the turning car wasn’t going to make it in time. Every day I make left hand turns and have to determine whether to go or wait until an oncoming car passes by.

Even if the teens appear to be going at a high rate of speed, does the fault of the accident change if the other car was making the turn and got t-boned? It’s like if I pulled out in front of a car going fast, and I got hurt, wouldn’t I be at fault?

[@Scorpio.Iamher.]

In my opinion, the driver who turned left should have noticed the oncoming vehicle approaching at high speed and should have stopped before making the turn. Instead, he casually proceeded to turn left. The other vehicle, traveling at such a fast pace, likely didn’t expect the turning vehicle to do so, but unfortunately, it did. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone involved. Please drive safely and be aware of others on the road.

Blunt trauma... Immense speed

[@j.daniels1548]

It depends on the manufacturer of the vehicle and how they construct the car. Every car has a governmental safety rating, and that determines the probability of you surviving these types of accidents. And small compact cars like the one the old man was driving are basically death traps waiting to happen. Notice how everyone in the Mercedes survived.

[@burnthecandleatbothendz]

@j.daniels1548 i drive a miata convertable lol but im soo used to it ,it feels normal size to me

[@Hexnilium]

Sometimes they have a heart attack from the shock, but usually the head is hit hard (even by the airbag itself) and that causes death. A car accident is a VERY violent event. Your body is going to get tossed around with immense force that is hard to imagine until experienced.

[@j.daniels1548]

@ just understand if you ever get in an accident, you are most likely going to be sent to the upper room. I’ve always avoided small compact vehicles because I understand if I get into an accident, I don’t have any room for error. It’s the equivalent of playing the game of chicken every time you get behind the wheel.

How does an elderly man yield when someone is going 3 times the speed limit in the dark? He most likely saw starbursts and only had slow reflexes. Yes he can "Yield!!", but they were too fast for him. So the driver will be held criminally accountable.

[@sionandtatev]

I've seen this movie way too many times before. Young idiots with high-horsepower cars do not care for anyone's safety, taking innocent lives. The elder driver was driving slowly even though he didn't yield for the approaching car, the accident could have been prevented if the teens had been doing the speed limit. R.I.P. to the civic driver.

[@undifinder6643]

Tbh, the distance between the elder and the kid was not that far so the elder is in the wrong for not making an attempt to yield at all.

[@Modernaire]

There’s another factor in this crash, see the elder meat, elderly man, making the left turn appears to have been blinded by or his line of view was obstructed by a car approaching someone in the distance with high beams. They may have blinded him and figuring that highbeam car that was driving at a normal speed Was enough to make a left turn then speeding Mercedes owning teenagers swerved around that car and surprising appeared basically out of nowhere from the blinding highbeams of the other car. That was a bad judgment call on the elderly man, but it is not excuse or diminished responsibility or irresponsibility of those teenagers in a fancy Mercedes driving at a high rate of speed.
